Respiratory illness associated with influenza and respiratory syncytial virus infection.
Article in Archives of disease in childhood, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsTo estimate excess morbidity during periods of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity.
methodsRetrospective analysis of a sentinel practice network database in active and non-active virus periods.
main outcome measuresclinical diagnoses of new episodes of influenza-like illness (ILI), acute bronchitis, asthma, and otitis media.
resultsThe clinical diagnosis of ILI was consistent with influenza virus activity and acute bronchitis with RSV. During periods of virus activity, estimates of excess morbidity in children aged 1-4 and 5-14 years diagnosed as having acute otitis media exceeded those diagnosed with each of the other three conditions; in children <1 year estimates for acute bronchitis were highest. Using a broad definition of virus activity and summarising the data for all children diagnosed with ILI, 60% was attributable to influenza (40% RSV) as were 37% of episodes diagnosed as acute bronchitis, 9% of those with asthma and 48% of those with otitis media. Using a narrow definition, corresponding proportions were: for ILI diagnoses 77% (23% RSV), acute bronchitis 32%, asthma zero, and otitis media 45%. Acute bronchitis was diagnosed twice as frequently in association with RSV as with influenza in all age groups: excess asthma episodes were only evident in RSV active periods.
conclusionsExcept in relation to ILI, RSV caused more illness than the influenza virus in the respiratory diagnoses examined, emphasising the need for RSV prevention and treatment. Influenza was not associated with excess asthma episodes.
